At 10:50 he mentions that you have to turn a piece to make it fit properly. This is the kind of attention to detail that I was hoping for, because Yugi specifically mentions having to rotate a piece to get it to fit in the first chapter of the manga when he's actually assembling the Millennium Puzzle, and that specific detail is what makes this faithful enough for me to want to purchase it. Great job.
I have one. Sits on my TV stand. Really nice and was fun to put together. It also holds together really well although I did have one mishap where it fell and shattered apart. I will honestly recommend it, but how you spend your money is on you.
Instruction unclear. Need help. Finished assembling puzzle. Got a Five Headed Dragon and a 1st edition Holograpic Charizard instead. Will request refund from Steam. 10/10 GOTY. Needs more ketchup.
So I own this kit and one of my favorite things I found about it is this is a 1/1 model kit. This is the exact size as in the anime and that's so cool to see. Cosplayers would really enjoy fit this into a Yami Yugi cosplay
While both kits look pretty fun to get for the puzzle and the box, the fact that you confirmed a standard 1/144 RX-78-2 sized figure fits perfectly in the box like an actual sarcophagus caught my eye the most! Has some nice potential for some pharaoh-type custom gunpla as you said~! Thank you for sharing!
(9:55) With the puzzle completed, Mecha Gaikotsu was infused with mystical energy, had to share a body with the spirit of a pharaoh and now has the goal of beating everyone at a children’s card game which literally everybody plays for some reason.
Those was my most recent model kits and I really love how complicated the puzzle is. It took me 3 hours to completely solve the puzzle without help. And even if you had done solving the puzzle, it is still a nice piece of decoration to sit on your desk.
This is in my top3 model kits I own. I've always wanted a working Millenium Puzzle and as a fan of Bandai's model kits this was a match made in heaven.
The symbol you're talking about is the Eye of Wdjat (wood-jhat), and the puzzle is the only one of the 7 Millenium Items to have it. The other 6 have the Eye of Anubis
As a fan of YUGIOH, I’m legitimately HAPPY, yet, BanDai should do model kits of ether the characters of the series, OR THE LEGENDARY MONSTER of the series!! That, would make me TRULY HAPPY….
I fell off of Yu-Gi-Oh as a card game a while ago because it's just not fun to play anymore, but I'll never lose my respect for the ridiculousness of the first season's anime. When I saw this kit announced, I preordered it ASAP and had a great time putting it together. Like you, I expected a typical 3D puzzle with locking sections, but they were as true to the source material as they could be and I think the engineering is outstanding. Took me 2 hours to do it so even though it wasn't a competition, I can say I have been outbrained by Mecha Gaikotsu.
I'm glad you didn't just straight show the solution to solving the puzzle while praising the mechanisms worked in for putting the puzzle together in this review, so color me impressed with this
Ever since I got into building model kits and I saw they had the millennium puzzle as a kit I’ve wanted it. Watching this video also makes me want to rewatch Yu-Gi-Oh!
I just thought of something, if someone owned a metallic Millenium puzzle and wore it. Imagine how painful it would be to fall foward and land with that thing on your chest.
Ok seriously as fan of the series I love the attention to detail that they have for the lore. In the anime the last piece was the millennium eye just like with this kit. Super cool can't wait to get one
Not only that but, as a different commenter pointed out, there's a single piece that only fits if you put it into place, then rotate it. Something yugi actively SAYS he had to do for one of the pieces when he was actually building the puzzle.
Wow they made the actual puzzle of the millenium puzzle similar to the anime/manga. Its that complex not too conolex when being assembled into the complete millenium puzzle
Planning to get one of each so I can set up a bit of a Yugi Shrine. I’ll use the sarcophagus as a glorified deck case, just like Yugi did for his cards in the original series
Finally, i am a big fan of puzzles, but they never made a millennium puzzle until now, a REAL puzzle, fairly complex also. Sensei Takahashi would approve.
Yeah i was able to help someone with this millennium puzzle online. It's quite a tricky puzzle to complete till it clicked in my head on which piece goes which surpsingly! This is a fun kit to make and complete although best you have patience with this!
Me: Oh hey Dracula hands; how many eons has it been since that been manicured? Dracula: it's been over 1000 yrs in the making its pretty sharp. Me: why paint them black though? Draculas hand: it looks cool. Me: it just looks weird. Dracula hands:......
Another neat detail that you can try, is adding a dark leather string to the kit, to make it a cheaper wearable accessory for whenever you want to to try a Yugi Moto or Yami Yugi cosplay, by simply threading the string through the hole, then tie it, cutting the excess string. Another way to do so, is using a small gold necklace chain to the mentioned area of the puzzle.
Man I love Yu-gi-oh and this reminds me that there is what people calls 'season 0' of Yu-gi-oh and it's the original concept of the series before it ended up being rebooted and more focused about the card game. In that season 0, as the title means, it's more about the Pharaoh posessing Yugi being the king of games and he ends up having to play dangerous games with various people that endangers his friends and he's the one that sends those people challenging him to the shadow realm when they lose (or cheat) .....also in that season Kaiba's hair is green
Not strictly for injection moulded gold, but, I recently found a decent fix for plated gold kits. Chrome gold nail powder! Just prep the nasty nub with your favourite gloss black, and when it’s 95%dry rub on some of the chrome gold nail powder with an eyeshadow brush sponge thing. Better and easier than any gold paints I’ve tried.
Wow it actually took me a couple of hours to figure out. Definitely complex but I was so satisfied when I finally completed. Glad it didn’t take me 8 years like yugi moto lol
Ok two questions,first how well does this stay together and second can i put like a chain or a rope around it to actually wear as a necklace, see for awhile now I've always wanted a wearable millennium puzzle that is the accurate size and scale as the one from the anime but could never find one so if this can give me that sense of nostalgic that I'll definitely buy it
i bought this kit and put it together with my dad. and it took me and my sis an evening to solve the puzzle, my sis did look up a bit of a guide. but it was fun
This box here it came all the way from Egypt yeah? It has held many important things in it I'm sure though you know Tutenkamen or however you say his name wouldn't be against putting your weed in there either. XD (this is a reference to a movie if you get it)
It looks like the box would be ideal for anybody's customized Yu-Gi-Oh decks. I think they should glue the box just to give it a little bit more solid form.
Could maybe glue some neodymium magnets on the inside of the walls and lid of the box to make it secure…. And for some reason I’d love to see the box and puzzle in like an antique silver color
I would love if they released this and made it literally impossible to solve, like it's impossible to fit all the pieces together at the same time without breaking them. If you can't figure it out? "You just weren't worthy."
There are three egyptian themed model kits coming out spread over this month till a few months ahead. This month, Undeaddress Isis. Jan Number 57 Armored Puppet Esis. Feb MS General The sins series, gluttony.
Now for her to test if it perfectly comes apart if whacked against a duel platform by a guy named Keith and if it does if it can be put back together in a fire
i saw the sarcophagus kit once and i thought it had the puzzle in it... then i saw the puzzle in a different bigger box, and me n my friend went "huh?" meanwhile my other friend was like "yeah, it do be like that"
Something I'd love to do if I ever had the money to pull it off is to take one of these kits and get about 2 pounds of whats called nugold. What nugold is is an alloy of 85% copper and 15% zinc. The result is a metal that resembles gold but it isn't. What I'd then do is make a larger mold of these runners with most of the worst sprues pre-cut to minimize the work afterwards, cast it all in this nu gold, then I'd have an actual metal Millennium Puzzle. This however would only be for display purposes and not for wearing because that would be freaking heavy around your neck. It would start to hurt after a while.
At 10:50 he mentions that you have to turn a piece to make it fit properly. This is the kind of attention to detail that I was hoping for, because Yugi specifically mentions having to rotate a piece to get it to fit in the first chapter of the manga when he's actually assembling the Millennium Puzzle, and that specific detail is what makes this faithful enough for me to want to purchase it.

@@galactic6262 Hopefully when you put it back together the second time, Bakura didn't put a piece of his soul into it.
@michaelcarlton1484 So far so good. Haven't seen a sign of him yet.
Ask Yami if he knows
I will not be surprised if your voice changes on the next review. Yami Gaikotsu the King of Gunpla
Yami Gaikotsu will just tell us to trust the heart of the models, instead of offering any useful reviews or advice.
Instruction unclear. Need help.
Finished assembling puzzle. Got a Five Headed Dragon and a 1st edition Holograpic Charizard instead. Will request refund from Steam.
10/10 GOTY. Needs more ketchup.
Instructions unclear, did voice training and became a king of a small country
watched his old videos
Would he yell GAIKOTSUUUUUUU before transforming??
So I own this kit and one of my favorite things I found about it is this is a 1/1 model kit. This is the exact size as in the anime and that's so cool to see. Cosplayers would really enjoy fit this into a Yami Yugi cosplay
I hadn't thought that far, but I have contemplated getting a plastic chain and painting it like a real one to complete the image.
Now all it needs is a chain.
While both kits look pretty fun to get for the puzzle and the box, the fact that you confirmed a standard 1/144 RX-78-2 sized figure fits perfectly in the box like an actual sarcophagus caught my eye the most! Has some nice potential for some pharaoh-type custom gunpla as you said~! Thank you for sharing!
Could be interesting as a g gundam thing
@@HYBRIDZHQ the Neo Egyptian pharaoh gundam would be a perfect fit!
I got about halfway through this…before I gave up and just looked up a guide. No wonder why yugi took a phew years to get this thing done…
Also, unlike us who knows what the end result is supposed to be, Yugi had NO idea at all.
@@badbloodkiller3471 damn you're right it didn't come with a picture of the completed puzzle
9 years to be exact
@@badbloodkiller3471 yugi had plot armor tho..

Bandai actually is releasing a Figure-Rise Amplified Blue Eyes White Dragon kit for March next year.
A real grade winged dragon of Ra sounds cool to me.
Mattel had some pretty decent ones for the Egyptian Gods back in the day. They came in pieces instead of on a runner, but they were so cool looking.
Let's see how many years will it take to reach Dark Magician Girl.
@@GoriCHAD Kotobukiya actually has a Crossframe Dark Magician Girl already
As an absolute fan of Yu-Gi-Oh back in the day, having a functioning Millennium Puzzle was a dream of mine. I might have to invest in these!

"the most challenging 3D puzzle of the millennium"

This is Super Special Awesome! Thanks for reviewing this!

Rubik's cube: ❌️
Millennium puzzle: ✔️
Yeah i was able to help someone with this millennium puzzle online. It's quite a tricky puzzle to complete till it clicked in my head on which piece goes which surpsingly! This is a fun kit to make and complete although best you have patience with this!
It's time to b-b-b-b-b--build!!!
You could easily hide magnets inside the lid and walls of the box, so the lid had a bit more firm of a hold on it!
8:08 Well if we ever get a kit of the Pharoh Gundam from G Gundam...
missed an opportunity to dub in a completely different model kit review channel's Voice Over as a gag, right after the puzzle was solved.
This may be the strangest compliment I've ever given, but your hands are gorgeous
I always love your nail varnish... you should try and do your logo as nail art... I think that would look super cool in a vid
Me: Oh hey Dracula hands; how many eons has it been since that been manicured?
Dracula: it's been over 1000 yrs in the making its pretty sharp.
Me: why paint them black though?
Draculas hand: it looks cool.
Me: it just looks weird.

Another neat detail that you can try, is adding a dark leather string to the kit, to make it a cheaper wearable accessory for whenever you want to to try a Yugi Moto or Yami Yugi cosplay, by simply threading the string through the hole, then tie it, cutting the excess string.

I’m not even that big a yugioh fan but like that’s such a killer idea for merch for that show oh my god, that’s so cool
I want to make the actual runners when they're put together out of actual gold and have someone solve a real gold millennium puzzle
That's pretty cool this doesn't have instructions on how to solve the Millennium Puzzle since that's how it was like in the anime & manga.
@xxnike629xx It is like building a BOX fort doesn't have any instruction manuals, right? LUL

When you think about the whole story.... our hero is wearing a pendant made from golden material infused with the flesh and blood of sinners.
It's a horror manga for a reason
I built this ealier this year. Really enjoyed this
Congratulation solving The Millennium Puzzle, know you have 2 personalities and the power of friendship
Wow it actually took me a couple of hours to figure out. Definitely complex but I was so satisfied when I finally completed. Glad it didn’t take me 8 years like yugi moto lol
This is already crazy enough, but _can we get much higher?_ (Make them die-cast gold 💀)
An hour and a half huh, eight years that Yugi.
meanwhile it took Yugi years to complete the puzzle implying he is a noob, lol.
Great review no idea these exist enjoy your commentary can you dismantle after it’s complete do it again if you choose to ?
Yes, you can. I occasionally dismantle mine to give other people a shot at the puzzle
This product isn't for me but it's so cool to see a malenium item from the yugioh TV series.
Me and my friends each had a kit of this and we built it together on stream! I was in first place and it only took me.... 3 and a half hours!
Mecha turned into the Queen of Games.
Ok two questions,first how well does this stay together and second can i put like a chain or a rope around it to actually wear as a necklace, see for awhile now I've always wanted a wearable millennium puzzle that is the accurate size and scale as the one from the anime but could never find one so if this can give me that sense of nostalgic that I'll definitely buy it
I think the only loose part is the front eye. Maybe you can have magnetic sticker to reinforce it.
@@ekayasa13 good idea thanks
Awesome you are doing the millennium puzzle, as a big yugioh fan I'm happy to see this😊
Man, it's great to see that the puzzle actually kinda lives up to its anime counterpart in terms of difficulty.
If Hellraiser has taught me anything... it's to leave puzzles alone and to stick to RPGs and Platformers 😜
9:55, The shadow games begin again!
You explain everything so good this is the first video I've seen and I have subscribed
i bought this kit and put it together with my dad. and it took me and my sis an evening to solve the puzzle, my sis did look up a bit of a guide. but it was fun
I've been waiting for my puzzle and box from HLJ for 13 months now. Still in backorder.
Yugi must’ve had a lot of time on his hands to figure out how to put this thing together
Mecha will never look at the time again normally without seeing d-d-d-d-d-duel
Did you unlock an alternate personality of an ancient Egyptian pharaoh who has a thing on leather clothing when you completed this puzzle? 😁😁😁
9:35 9:37
You know I always wondered if the millennium puzzle was solid.
Yugi let’s have a neck made a steel.
Just finished this the other day, was very fun trying to solve the puzzle
that a good time compared to my time. I think the reason why it took yugi 8 years to solve it was the first 7 years he was procastinating
You just got a new subscriber king of games/gunpla
Inb4 Mecha gets his alter ego and begins going around straight up ending criminals by challenging them to death games
New season of build divers
Damn you smashed Yugi’s record
You needed your bully to throw the eye piece to the river, so he can then help you get it back after he realizes you are now bffs
I’m gonna order this soon, I’ve been a huge fan of yugioh ever since I watched the first season with my older brother 10 years ago :D
This box here it came all the way from Egypt yeah? It has held many important things in it I'm sure though you know Tutenkamen or however you say his name wouldn't be against putting your weed in there either. XD (this is a reference to a movie if you get it)
I've wanted an irl puzzle version of the puzzle since I was a kid. I have to buy one..
It looks like the box would be ideal for anybody's customized Yu-Gi-Oh decks. I think they should glue the box just to give it a little bit more solid form.
Whoever wears this will be determined to have multiple personalities =)))
11:14 LOL you miss that long piece, same as me at frist try🤣
Could maybe glue some neodymium magnets on the inside of the walls and lid of the box to make it secure…. And for some reason I’d love to see the box and puzzle in like an antique silver color
Maybe that weird piece is the cursed piece that Bakura got a hold of
R.I.P Kazuki Takahashi, thanks for all the memories 🥲
I would love if they released this and made it literally impossible to solve, like it's impossible to fit all the pieces together at the same time without breaking them. If you can't figure it out? "You just weren't worthy."
There’s any recommendations on how to cut the pieces? Some people complain about defects after they cut the pieces. Thks
Can we fit a complete 40 card deck? with extra deck? sleeved?
These are the questions i NEED to know! Lol
Spray metallic gold and put some magnetic tape on the lid and that box would look amazing
I'm excited for the Figure-Rise Amplified Blue-Eyes White Dragon
Now wear it to school with you jacket as a cape, and do your hair like Atem,
I need an actual gold one of these that you can actually put together like a puzzle
Cosplay time for Mecha Gaikotsu, walk around with huge Millenium Puzzle as necklace

Okay Bandai, now give us at least one of the Pharaoh Gundams to store in that box!
i would love to see chris ramsay do this puzzle.

Now for her to test if it perfectly comes apart if whacked against a duel platform by a guy named Keith and if it does if it can be put back together in a fire
YUGIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH
I like how Google translates your comment by adding more letter O's
i saw the sarcophagus kit once and i thought it had the puzzle in it... then i saw the puzzle in a different bigger box, and me n my friend went "huh?"
meanwhile my other friend was like "yeah, it do be like that"
Y’all should make this out of metal and then seal a actual pharo’s soul in it
10:08 you could actually use it as a "gold" knuckle in some case you lose the card game
Something I'd love to do if I ever had the money to pull it off is to take one of these kits and get about 2 pounds of whats called nugold. What nugold is is an alloy of 85% copper and 15% zinc. The result is a metal that resembles gold but it isn't. What I'd then do is make a larger mold of these runners with most of the worst sprues pre-cut to minimize the work afterwards, cast it all in this nu gold, then I'd have an actual metal Millennium Puzzle. This however would only be for display purposes and not for wearing because that would be freaking heavy around your neck. It would start to hurt after a while.
I would like to see a world record of putting it together
Hope Konami make a truly complicated version for this puzzle to find out who is truly worthy.
